Diagnostic Accuracy of Histoplasma Urine Antigen Assay Evaluated

Histoplasmosis is an endemic mycosis in many regions of Latin America. In the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected population it manifests as progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH), an entity hard to diagnose since the causative fungi, Histoplasma capsulatum, is slow growing and requires advance biosafety for its handling.
